Owing to what he described as the failure of Nigerian coaches to separate coaching from business, the President of the Nigeria Referees Association, NRA, Tade Azeez has advised the Nigeria Football Federation to hire a foreign coach to rebuild the Super Eagles.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN in a telephone chat that a foreign coach is the only way forward for the NFF.
"If the board believes they can get a foreigner that will work very well and they know that they have a way of paying the salaries without affecting them, I support the agitation for a foreign coach.
"This is because our indigenous coaches cannot separate their coaching abilities from business.
"They are all businessmen, who have interest in one player or the other and because they want to make money, they force such players on Nigerians.
"That has been the problem with them. They are not after the best players representing us and I think as professionals, they should be able to differentiate between coaching and business. I doubt if any of them can do that,’’ he said.
The Super Eagles have not had a substantive coach since the shock resignation of Sunday Oliseh on February 26, 2016.
